Lucas picked up his glass and sipped his water. "It didn't close down. I stepped in and acquired it before it went bankrupt."
"Really?" Stella's face lit up with surprise. "So that means I can still have it? Lucas, when can you take me to the factory for a tour?"
While they chatted, Melody remained silent, engrossed in her phone the entire time. She had not experienced these past events, so she could not find a way to join the conversation. Other than playing with her phone, she could not think of anything else to do.
It seemed like Stella intentionally brought up this topic to create a distance between Melody and them. She was trying to make Melody understand that she and Lucas were childhood sweethearts and a perfect match.
Playing with her phone, a message from Sherman popped up on the screen, and Melody casually clicked on it.
[I heard you signed the contract for Shaun's new movie. Congratulations!]
Upon seeing the message, Melody's first reaction was how he knew about it. She then realized that Shaun chose her after seeing the advertisement by Parr Group, so Sherman must have known, too.
[Thank you. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. I wouldn't have gotten this role if it weren't for the advertisement your company shot.]
[Nah, you got it on your own merit. It has nothing to do with me. I hope you'll still remember me when you become a bigshot celebrity!]
[Stop teasing me. I don't even know if I can do it. It'll be over for me if I mess up the performance.]
[Don't worry, you can definitely do it. I believe in you.]
Melody was still worried about letting Shaun down, but she did not know whom to share her concerns with. Thus, she felt a lot better after talking to Sherman about it.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
